THE public are being invited to have their say on the future design of Buchanan Bus Station. 

SPT, working in partnership with Glasgow City Council, is asking for people's views on how the station can better meet the needs of users. 

Richard Robinson, SPT’s director of transport operations, highlights that much of the station has not been changed for almost half a century.

He said: "Buchanan Bus Station is a key strategic transport hub within the west of Scotland’s transport network, and while aspects of the bus station have been modernised in recent years, principally to improve the passenger experience and safety and efficiency of operations, Buchanan Bus Station has remained largely unchanged over the last 45 years.

"The area around the bus station is undergoing change and now is the perfect opportunity for SPT to consider how Buchanan Bus Station fits in with the regeneration of that part of the city so it remains a vital part of a sustainable transport network in our region."

It is hoped the future vision for the station will see it and the urban block around it become a "vibrant new gateway" to Glasgow which is fully integrated in the local area.
